SOLUTION
STEP 1
Use intercepts to graph an equationEXAMPLE 2
Graph the equation x + 2y = 4.
x + 2y = 4
x = x-intercept4
Find the intercepts.
x + 2(0) = 4 0 + 2y = 4
y = y-intercept2
x + 2y = 4

Use intercepts to graph an equationEXAMPLE 2
STEP 2
Plot points. The x-intercept is 4, so plot the point (4, 0). The y-intercept is 2, so plot the point (0, 2). Draw a line through the points.

Use a graph to find interceptsEXAMPLE 3
The graph crosses the x-axis at (2, 0). The x-intercept is 2. The graph crosses the y-axis at (0, –1). The y-intercept is –1.
